Abstract: Motor fuel compositions containing ethanol, also known as gasohol, are disclosed, wherein the motor fuel is substantially in one phase and contains, 1 to 50, preferable 2 to 30 weight % of ethanol and an amount of water between 1 and 10 wt.% on the basis of the weight of the ethanol. Such motor fuel compositions can be produced by blending gasoline with hydrous ethanol, thus evading the necessity to use anhydrous ethanol as feedstock. Furthermore such motor fuel compositions may be produced by blending gasoline with hydrous ethanol and anhydrous ethanol, thus evading the necessity to use anhydrous ethanol as the sole feedstock. These motor fuel compositions may contain a second liquid phase that does not form a separate layer, and where no separate liquid phase can be detected by vision, and so meets with the specification that has become known as "clear and bright".

Abstract: Biodegradable carriers synthesized from ricinoleic acid oligoesters and aliphatic molecules having at least one carboxylic acid and at least one hydroxy or carboxylic acid group that are liquids or pastes at temperatures below 370C and methods of making and using thereof are described herein. The polymers described herein significantly increase their viscosity upon immersion in aqueous medium. These polymers can be used as hydrophobic biomedical sealants, temporary barriers to prevent adhesions, such as organ to organ adhesion, cell supports, carriers for drug delivery, and coatings on implantable medical devices, such as stents. The polymers made from ricinoleic acid oligoesters are less viscous and easier to inject compared to polymers of similar composition and molecular weight prepared from ricinoleic acid monomers, possess a higher molecular weight, retain an incorporated drug for longer periods, and degrade into soft degradation products at a slower rate compared with polymers synthesized from ricinoleic acid monomers.  Pharmaceutically active agents can be incorporated into the liquid or pastes without the use of organic solvents.

Title: Cattle management method and system
Inventor: PRATT WILLIAM C
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 1995-10-30
Abstract: An improved highly automated method and system for providing individual animal Electronic Identification, measurement and value based management of cattle in a large cattle feedlot. Through the use of (1) a computer system integrated with (2) electronic or other automatic individual animal identification (3) multiple measurement and remeasurement systems with automatic data input means and (4) a cattle handling and sorting system, animals are individually (a) identified and (b) measured by weight, external dimensions and characteristics of internal body tissue. With this information together with physiological characteristics and historical data on the animals, the computer system calculates the optimum (c) slaughter weight, (d) economic end point and (e) marketing date for shipment to a packing plant. After measurement, individual animals are (f) sorted by direction of the computer in response to calculations from the measurements. The computer system also calculates from the individual animal data and other data (g) each animal's pro rata share of the actual feed intake for the group with which it is being fed. The computer system (h) stores individual animal measurement, performance and location data, which is used by management to (i) select animals for shipment from the feedlot for slaughter at the optimum time. Following an animal's shipment to a slaughter facility, its identification in the computer system is used to (j) correlate the live animal physical characteristics and performance data to the measured and evaluated carcass characteristics data obtained during the slaughter process and (k) build a data base to more accurately identify and measure value based characteristics in subsequent animals produced and fed for more effective value based selection and management of those animals.

Abstract: Casing or other well tubulars that have failed are repaired in a manner that doesn't reduce the final inside diameter and doesn't further propagate the failure. The tubular needing repair is first expanded on at least one zone above and below the damaged area. This expansion in an undamaged area arrests failure propagation when the damaged area is then expanded. After the damaged area is expanded, the patch coupled preferably with exterior seals is positioned in the expanded zone of the damaged tubular and expanded. The procedure can also be accomplished in a single trip into the well.

Abstract: In Cu-containing nitrite reductase from Alcaligenes faecalis S-6 the axial methionine ligand of the type1 site was replaced (M150G) to make the copper atom accessible to external ligands that might affect the enzyme's catalytic activity. The type-1 site optical spectrum of M150G (A460/A600 = 0.71) differs significantly from that of the native nitrite reductase (A460/A600 = 1.3). The reduction potential of the type-1 site of nitrite reductase M150G (EM = 312 -5 mV versus hydrogen) is higher than that of the native enzyme (EM = 213 - 5 mV). M150G has a lower catalytic activity (kcat = 133 - 6 s-1) than the wild-type nitrite reductase (kcat = 416 - 10 - s 1). The binding of external ligands to M150G restores spectral properties, reduction potential (EM < 225 mV), and catalytic activity (kcat = 374 - 28 s-1). Also the M150H (A460/A600 =  7.7, EM = 104 - 5 mV, kcat = 0.099 - 0.006 s-1) and M150T (A460/A600 = 0.085, EM = 340 - 5 mV, kcat = 126 - 2 s -1) variants were characterized to compare their properties with those of M150G. Crystal structures show that the ligands act as allosteric effectors by displacing Met62 which moves to bind to the Cu in the position emptied by the M150G mutation. The reconstituted type-1 site has an otherwise unaltered geometry. The observation that a rearranged ligand can introduce allosteric control in a redox enzyme suggests potential for structural and functional flexibility of copper-containing redox sites.
